About this property

Modern Comfort Meets Old Hawai'i - Beachfront Condo w/ Newly Updated Interior

Enhanced COVID cleaning and disinfecting procedures for every check-in.

Hanalei Colony Resort E3 - completely updated ocean view apartment in north shore Kauai's only true beachfront resort, recently voted one of Travel + Leisure's top 20 favorite resorts. Dedicated high-speed internet make it a great remote work choice. These unique Hanalei vacation rentals are just steps away from the secluded sandy beach that fronts the property!

This lovely upstairs corner condo has been completely remodeled inside and completely refurnished. It's gorgeous and upscale and comfortable, with a large shady lanai and ocean view, all about 30 seconds from the sand. There is one bedroom, furnished with a king bed. For privacy, it can be closed off from the rest of the unit with sliding shoji screens which still allow air flow to keep you cool at night. A second bedroom is furnished with a queen bed, and also has sliding shoji screens for visual privacy. Note that sound will still carry, so if you're streaming a late-night movie, be sure to keep the volume low. The living and dining areas are comfortably furnished and there are dramatic ocean views from each of the large picture windows. You won't mind cooking in the lovely remodeled kitchen with upscale touches like subway tile backsplash and rich wood cabinetry. The bathroom has also been completely updated and boasts similar touches of subway tile and rich wood. While there are no televisions in the apartments, wifi is provided so you won't be completely cut off from the modern world. (Only as cut off as you wish to be.)

In addition to Hanalei Colony Resort E3's beautiful interior and views, and the beach just in front, this Hanalei rental offers additional amenities for guests to enjoy, including swimming pool, jacuzzi, barbecue grills, and guest laundry room. Walk next door to the Opakapaka Bar and Grill or across the parking lot to the Hanalei Day Spa. Just a few minutes past the charming town of Hanalei, you'll find that shopping and dining options are conveniently close. It's the perfect Kauai vacation rental for proposals, honeymoons, anniversaries, and other romantic occasions.

While wonderfully furnished and right next to the beach, please know that the development was built in simpler times. The units are smaller and have kitchens to match. Some normal amenities will be absent given the space and purposeful attempt to honor the simplicity of earlier times: you won’t find a dishwasher or washing machine in any of the units (there is a laundry room on the premises), and most units have no televisions (though wifi is available for those of us who can't escape work or want to stream our favorite shows).

As with most homes on Kauai, this vacation rental is NOT air conditioned.

This is an upstairs condo so you need to be able to go up and down stairs. There are no elevators.

Although this home has internet, the speed and reliability cannot be guaranteed due to the remote location and the service being provided by a third-party.

Our stay was WONDERFUL. This property is perfect, away from much of civilization but 15 minutes from the lively town of Hanalei. The apartment was clean and bright and had wonderful views. We enjoyed the pool, the hot tub and relished coming back here after a day exploring the North coast. Paradise. We will be back!

Great condo and location

This condo was great for our family of 4 staying in the North Shore for a few days. Easy shuttle access to Haena state park, cute coffee shop and restaurant on site. Loved the north shore area.

Beautiful ocean side condo

Everything is as advertised. Beautiful location along the beach with plenty of restraints and shopping 10-15 minute drive down the road in Hanalei. I would recommend.

December on the north shore

Great location and very chill vibe. This property is great if you are looking for a nice place that isn’t part of a big and commercialized resort. Quiet and very close to ocean. Beautiful view of ocean. Internet is very fast and I was able to work remotely and take video calls.

The Colony is terrific. Very quiet, peaceful, and priced right. If you are looking for relaxing place this is it. If you are looking for lots of nightlife and restaurants then stay in Poipu. My family enjoyed our stay.

LOVED our stay!

Such a great place. As we drove around Kauai we were consistenly thrilled that we'd chosen this place. Felt like a cozy villa rather than a hotel in one of the high traffic tourist areas. Kitchen was well stocked, bed was comfortable, patio was delightful, bathroom recently renovated, gorgeous woodwork done by local craftsmen. Kauai didn't fail to disappoint in sights and adventures. One of the best vacations we've had in years.

Lovely View

We loved the view and breeze on our lanai the most! The unit is beautiful and newly updated. The kitchen was well appointed. Unfortunately the beach breeze didn’t flow through the unit as much as we would have liked due to how the building is positioned, so it did get a bit hot and humid when we were there in early September. That was the ONLY thing we didn’t love. We recommend that you walk across the parking lot and get a massage on the beach from the Hanalei Day Spa - glorious!

Special property

Old school Hawaii in a fantastic location. Though not a swimming beach right out front we found a wonderful spot just around the point to the west. Great snorkeling and swimming. Very quiet area and the restaurant on site was very good. Even got a beach side massage at the Hanalei Day spa on the property. Condo was a little hot with no AC but the fans and cross breeze made it just fine. Slept great on the comfy bed. Would love to stay again in the future. Very relaxing stay

Great place!

If you want to escape, this is your place. This unit, even though it’s not oceanfront, is a stone’s throw from the ocean and the lanai has a perfect view of it. This is not an all-inclusive resort and that’s exactly why we stayed there. Secluded, private, and amazing location, as close to the “end of the road” as you can get. Incredible property with a restaurant, small coffee shop and day spa just across the parking lot.

Lovely Hanalei Colony Resort condo

Overall lovely place; lovely views. It did have a few issues: ceiling lights flickering in one bedroom, and a couple wall outlets that were dead. I communicated these to the management company, and they said they would get them fixed.
